To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what activities have been undertaken by the Natural Resources Institute since its last annual report.

I have placed in the Library of the House copies of the Natural Resources Institute's report on operational programmes 1989–91 and the annual report and accounts 1990–91. These reports give details of work undertaken by NRI in support of the renewable natural resources sector in developing countries, and of the institute's performance in its first year as a "next steps" agency.
